empirical Formula
  1. suppose 3.2g of sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce 6.4g of Sulfur oxide. what is the formula of the reaction.
    1. Step 1: you have to first find the masses.
      1. S: 3.2 O:3.2
        1. Step 2:Look Up Ar Value
          1. S:32 O:16
            1. Step 3: Divide the masses by the Ar
              1. S: 0.1 O: 0.2
                1. Step 4: Find the ratio
                  1. S:1 O:2
          2. Result: The formula for oxide is SO2
